Torii Hunter Jr. makes great catch, dad cheers from stands
What's that phrase they always say? Oh yeah. "Like Torii, like son," right?
OK, that's not a real phrase, but it might as well be one. In the Angels' 5-4 Spring Training win over the White Sox on Friday, prospect Torii Hunter Jr. made a leaping, game-saving, tie-preserving catch in the top of the ninth inning on a line drive off the bat of Preston Tucker that sent a wave of excitement through the stands at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
One fan in particular -- Torii Hunter himself -- was on hand to watch his son in the game, and, well, he was pretty much the proudest dad in the world for a few minutes:

You would be too, if your son did that.
After all, he learned from the master ...
